Pascal: Pensees (excerpt)

On DIVERSION)

If a man were happy, the less he were diverted, the happier he would be—just like the saints and God. “Yes,” you may say, “but is a not a man happy who can find delight in diversion?” No, because it comes from somewhere else, from outside him. So he is dependent, and always liable to be disturbed by a thousand and one accidents, which inevitably cause distress.

In God We Don’t Trust
A New Look at the American Revolution
During the past 200 years, there have been thousands of books written about the American Revolution. Yet, nearly all of them are written from the same perspective—that of the revolutionists. In God We Don’t Trust takes a different look at the American Revolution and the early colonization of America. In this work, author David Bercot looks at these events from the perspective of Jesus’ teachings—which puts these events in a very different light. We promise this book will challenge much of what you learned in school about American history, while also strengthening your Christian convictions.

Being unable to cure death, wretchedness, and ignorance, men have decided, in order to be happy, not to think about such things.

Despite these afflictions man wants to be happy, only wants to be happy, and cannot help wanting to be happy.
